7 Weirdest Button Prompts That You Were Not Ready For: The Return

[@outsidextra]

Cheers to the lovely Outside Xbox team for taking over while Ellen was out of the studio! 💚💜

[@number-kg3ul]

It worked

[@KaladinVegapunk]

I don't know why ANYONE wouldn't throw the baby in the cooker hahaha..like..obviously she isn't going to gank his kid, Geralt needs to be guilty, that's the whole reason she said trust my plan. Have to be intentionally being a dick to hand the baby back But yeah! Great job Ellen!

[@frodobaggins7710]

I'd argue that if you're playing as Megatron, "shut Starscream up" is the button prompt you should always be expecting (and hoping) to appear

[@Stryder45]

Seriously, it was in the 80s movie.

[@lordofuzkulak8308]

@@Stryder45and the 86 movie did it better.

[@paulbennett2284]

It looked more like Megatron shot him in the balls.

[@mistermann4163]

I think when you do it as Grimlock it's better/funnier since you don't expect how he's gonna do it unlike Megatron who just uses his cannon.

[@Locked0Out]

“Press x to check back for newly implanted knives”

[@saintmuerte13]

It did Jane, it worked

[@navelwarfare3247]

[@Pizzaetertje]

No way it really did

[@Leafsanin9221]

My hand just moved out of pure instinct

[@coyoteartist]

Somehow I feel used

[@lauraanne341]

Me too!

[@elvisthao9161]

I remember my first time dunking my head in that wax in DS3. A casual strolling around the library, then seeing the prompt and going, "...Huh?" Followed by utter silence as my character decided, yeah, of all the things to dunk in the wax, he'll go headfirst. Then more silence, then wondering, "...why did I do that...?"

[@daviddaugherty2816]

My first thought was, "Why not? I'm gonna die, anyway."

[@MetaManGamingTM]

I love that everyone from the parent channel has come in to help Ellen with Outside Xtra since Luke left. Love the max effort guys!

[@timburlingame5893]

"left" Yeah that's what happened.🙄

[@weetdirt]

​@@timburlingame5893it is. Every single person involved has confirmed that Luke resigned from a talent role. He's still in Oxventures; if he was fired, that wouldn't be the case.

[@TheWindii]

Luke Left? I thought Tall Ellen got a new haircut.

[@thegovermentstolemybaby7631]

"Just putting the bun back in the oven" - Geralt, probably

Looks like youtube didn't like the original thumbnail 😅

[@cebbi1313]

No; that was the reason cited for the “yoni egg” recall 🤢

[@martmcclary8477]

Yes, this is what I came here to ask. 🤢

[@crummymonk4917]

🤣😂

[@madalice5134]

Oh Gods no, why did you remind of that weirdness?! 😢

[@beesforbreakfast]

“Is it just me or did it get morally sketchy in here?” Jane, mate, it’s normally just you

[@coltonwilliams4153]

Except this time…

[@octochan]

TBH as someone who only knows what I do about Deadpool from pop cultural osmosis, I assumed the button prompt would be to smooch Wolverine real good

[@Midorikonokami]

I thought it was "press X to slap arse"

[@TheArrowofLight]

"7 weirdest quest requirements that caught us off guard" next? Even if they're fake requirements like that one that Claptrap gives you in Sanctuary in borderlands 2 where you have to dance, kill the destroyer of worlds and the other one I forgot.

[@andrewbranson8539]

Also from BL2, "Kill More Bonerfarts".

[@daviddaugherty2816]

In that quest, Claptrap also asks you to find a 1000+, weirdly specific number of brown rocks.

[@aidanjackson5084]

I learned about this from another video, but there's an Upgrade Requirement from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 requiring you to "Talk to (20 or 40?) Women." Definitely a weird requirement, and a small joke at "Gamers can't talk to women"

[@ilikeapples1]

​@@andrewbranson8539tbh in subsequent playthroughs I always left that quest uncompleted so that it keeps calling them bonerfarts 😂

[@ElCid1412]

Pressed 👍 like it's a shenmue quick time action

[@ElCid1412]

It did nothing 😮

[@myaldeade]

What? Incorrectly 46 times until you give up on airing out those books?

Excuse me. Do you remember a black car? On that day. When the snow changed to rain.

[@vanillanoxfleuret]

[@mathewseaward3529]

Whoever came up with the joke for the Ceaseless Discharge Yankee candle. Top marks, no notes

[@madalice5134]

I bet there's someone o Etsy making something like that if they haven't already. 😂

[@SolaScientia]

I'm glad I wasn't drinking my tea when the candle with "ceaseless discharge" was put on the screen. I was seriously trying to think of the weirdest button prompt in DS3 when the spoiler list was rolling. I've learned to be most distrustful of any prompt that wants me to touch something in those games. Touch the giant egg, touch the "corpse" in a chair, try to touch a large blade wreathed in red, touch the hand sticking out of a cocoon and be welcomed to hell, etc etc.

[@alexdupaix]

Now, now, a corpse should be left well alone.

[@Jonathon_Hennessey]

Touch the giant painting that sucks you into a world of ice and snow.

[@SolaScientia]

@@Jonathon_Hennessey Oh, yeah. Also, touch the scrap of material in an old man's hand to go to another world of ice and snow.

[@inc2000glw]

Me too!

[@Jonathon_Hennessey]

@@SolaScientia I may be wrong, but aren't the worlds of ice and snow that you and me both mentioned basically the same place. That's kind of the implication that I got while I was out exploring this new painted world.

[@YalelingOz]

Now that I know it was an option, I've needed a 'shut Starscream up' button for the last 40 years.

[@joels5150]

Like in Transformers: The Movie, when Megatron has been remade as Galvatron, and he returns to the Decepticons, which Starscream has assumed leadership of. Starscream says: Megatron, is that you? And Galvatron replies: Here’s a hint!! as he transforms into a cannon and obliterates Starscream 😂

[@SilverEye91]

Regarding the baby cooking, I'm pretty sure that fire burned for at least a while and thus the insides of the oven will be hot and you'll still cause some burns to that child. Not cooked, but the baby probably got quite seared.

[@brandonwithnell612]

mmmm veal

[@christopherg2347]

He had a cloth to avoid dirt skin contact and she took it out instantly.

[@Alsebra]

Geralt basically passed the baby *through* the oven to the person on the other side...the perception of guilt is what drew the hym out of the Jarl. We also don't know exactly how long the fire was burning...he could've started it as she was being chased to the house.

[@SilverEye91]

@@Alsebra I am aware what happened. If he passed it through to the person there would be no apparent guilty feeling for the hym to latch onto.

[@Alsebra]

@@SilverEye91, Geralt wasn't aware of the second door, so for all he knew, he cooked the kid.

[@RockR277]

That Witcher quest is so good. I love that the player and Geralt are completely of the same mind in that moment.

[@Kefkaesque13]

In the vein of the Megatron entry, Asura's Warth has multiple times where you are goven an "Interrupt _____" prompt to violently shut up a monologuing villain. The real standout prompt, however, is after you do a few phases of the games DLC final boss. This buddah-like figure returns Asura's daughter and offers a truce/accord. The exhausted Asura looks down at his daughter, nods, and the prompt "Extend Arm" appears. Asura does just that, by ramming the fist attached to said arm into the final boss's face, starting the final phases in earnest.

[@coyoteartist]

And if Luke playing Dark Souls has taught us anything. Never underestimate the worm.

[@Michael_Lindell]

An Outside Xtra video without Ellen? An interesting gambit...

[@JWhygant]

She got some screen time from the Dark Souls Academy clips at least?

[@Zezlemet]

We lost Luke and now Ellen? When will it end?

[@oxfanblink4115]

⁠@@ZezlemetAll being well Ellen just took a bit of time off 🙂

[@kamo7293]

you didn't find the make Ellen appear button prompt 😂

[@green_dragon_knight]

With Luke gone i think it would be hard on Ellen if she has to be in every Outside Xtra video, which means she doesn’t really get a break (and she might be sick sometimes).

[@synthraofficial5366]

"Surrender your soul to Arasaka" was the one that got me. The build up to that button press makes it a few thousand times worse.

[@Jack_Cooper_RFC]

wow, TIL Batman did the "Press F to Pay Respects" meme before the actual meme

[@me0262]

Arkham Knight's opening to incinerate, there's also a gag on the replay of the game, where Joker starts laughing while he's burning.

[@iambicpentakill971]

On the Witcher one, I'm glad that you mentioned murdering those guards who were trying to protect a baby. I appreciate when people don't gloss over things like that

But they're wrong, the guards only attack after the baby has already landed in the oven.

[@EST84x]

I bet Alfred redraws that outline in different spots in the city and master Bruce doesn't even notice.

[@brandonwithnell612]

"hmm thats strange crime alley looks a bit differnt tonight" "master bruce this is gotham, every alley is crime alley"

[@Trekyhunter]

The number of times I've accidentally disarmed myself in video games with a 'throw held item' button 😂

[@drakenraugh1841]

The first time i was like wtf. Every other time it happened i felt like an idiot 😅

[@TransmitHim]

I can usually adapt pretty well, but for some reason, while playing Ghost of Tsushima, I could not rewire my brain and kept using whichever button it is in RDR2 to mount the horse, which in GoT is used for a heavy sword attack. That poor horse. So many sword wounds on its flanks.

[@WavingWorld]

"Be careful what buttons you press" is pretty good advice tbh.

[@Dollightful]

The Ceaseless Discharge candle 😂😂 I'm dying

[@ZNEO3NZ]

All of the south park prompts are pretty wild.

[@notoriousbmc1]

Geralt hasn't done anything wrong...except thinking that burning the baby was the logical choice. And then yeeting said baby sideways, like a rugby player

[@bobbyfernando]

Who's the new host in that _Dark Souls III_ footage? I don't believe we've ever seen that ordinary, grown-up man on this channel, before.

That's just Ellen from Outside Xtra.

[@chrismanuel9768]

[@Egurius3]

That's just Tall Ellen

[@mnoelis]

My favorite is "Press Triangle to Sora" from Kingdom Hearts 3

[@KaijinD]

I loved the hym the first time I encountered it in the quest. I thought it was a brilliant piece of writing and solid idea for a demon.

[@Juggtacula]

The Fall of Cyberton scene is almost a direct recreation of "The Transformers: The Movie". Instead of Metroplex killing Megatron, Optimus beats him up and he gets resurrected as Galvatron by Unicron. Then he interrupts Starscreams coronation by turning into a canon and blasting him to dust. Starscream: Who dares interrupt my coronation? Galvatron: Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy. Starscream: Megatron? Is that you? Galvatron: Here's a hint! -BLAM-

[@Artificer1911]

Leonard Nimoy was an excellent Galvatron.

[@Juggtacula]

@@Artificer1911 Nimoy and Orson Welles were insane as Galvatron and Unicron.

[@metarcee2483]

Complete with who's present at the coronation.

[@Tigerhawk01]

Ah, another person of culture.

[@christopherg2347]

I can't remember if there was a prompt, but with the right background Mass Effect 1+3 had you "call your mother". 1 definitely had it as a quest step.

[@wavion2]

Spacer background, I believe. And I thought it was cool that you called her again in 3 to let her know you were still alive. Also, not quite a button prompt, but I like that one dialogue input in Citadel where your paragon choice is, "I will end you." and your renegade choice is, "I will end you, painfully."

[@docholliday4537]

I believe the guards in Witcher 3 actually do survive. The next cutscene shows them roughed up; not dead (if I remember correctly)

[@stephenmccormack1979]

The Artful Escape opens with the Epic Button Prompt - "To strum a folk ballad about the toil of a miner’s life, hold X"

[@Brando68933]

0:24 😂😂😂 The animal noise for some reason had me laughing so hard

[@Potato15461]

I saw your comment about 3 seconds later and that's when I laughed

[@GraphiteHeart]

Final fantasy XIII-2 boss fight proto falcie in Augustus Tower. The prompt to "Scream at Hope" is the funniest thing that we all wanted to do and were completely correct.

[@docette2015]

...welp, baby oven is indeed one way to get a guilty conscience, yes. Though now I have to wonder what happens if Geralt can't do it and just hands the baby back to his dad. I'm guessing boss fight?

[@riningan]

Yep. Boss fight. First you get punched by the Jarl even if you hand over the baby while Cerys reveals what her plan was going to be before you're forced to deal with the Hym the so-called "Witcher way". Cue a fight where the dark house and cellar can make it hard to see the enemy and you'll occasionally need to cast the Axii sign on the jarl to keep him calm until you eventually kill the Hym.

[@JoshuaJacobs83]

I love how not even seeing the spoilers, I thought of Daek Souls. But probably because I'm playing Dark Souls now

[@AndyJMurphy]

Good to see you back Jane 😊

[@zxuiji]

0:08 you were about a second or 2 too late with that prompt XD

[@pockylovingranger]

I’m not crying upon hearing Kevin Conroy…I’M BAWLING MY EYES OUT

[@Dani_Reasor]

The "How the Saints Save Christmas" DLC for Saints Row IV has a button prompt to try to bypass a giant candy cane that's blocking an entrance using... uh... the Boss' slobbering skills, instead of taking the long way around. This may not be usable for a later video on this channel, thanks to the work of the game's sound artists, but I thought it at least deserved mention

[@daviddaugherty2816]

It was absolutely in a video (games that wasted your time, I think) and they absolutely played the sound. A lot.

[@petersimpson4648]

The few seconds you play as Metroplex are some of the most satisfying moments in gaming history.

[@ap3x581]

14:53 fun fact: when you do this Incinerate bit in NG+, Joker will pop back up alive and laugh as he gets burned. It also changes the following narration a little

[@jmikemc446]

Immediately after Jane mentioned the new Deadpool movie, I had an ad pop up with Ryan Reynolds in it. It was like Deadpool was summoned by talking about him!

[@ChristopherMathieu]

@13:00 There's an achievement/trophy for slapping Wolverine longer than strictly necessary.

[@mattschehr163]

dont forget press F to pay respects in COD Advanced Warfare

[@Michael_Lindell]

What a video! It really pushed my buttons.

[@joenesvick7043]

I pressed your button Jane I always do what Cerys wants, did it the first time and had no hindsight. Cerys always becomes queen in my game too Abigail had a package for John to pick up, if only she had Jim do it instead lol 🤪 I have that Deadpool game for PS4, a physical copy, if all PS4 games are backwards compatible on PS5. . . . I'm not sure why Arkham Knight is rated M, a very tame M rated game if you ask me. The crimes of Professor Pyg are hardly any worse than the identity thief crimes from the previous games🤩

[@TwistedEyes12]

I miss those Transformers games. Being a scout was probably the most fun I've had in a PvP game in a long long time.

[@withercat1801]

That Deadpool one reminds me of a scene from Saints Row 4’s Christmas story. There’s a section where you have to get through a door barred with a giant candy cane, and you have the option to lick it. If you do, a progress bar shows up and advances like 1/100 of the way. You get an achievement for actually continuing to press the lick button until the candy cane is gone, but I didn’t know this at the time. Got the achievement anyway because every time you lick it the objective text changes to mock you more and more for spending your time on it and I wanted to see all the dialogue

[@BlueLoneWolf527]

Aw Jane, you gotta know we don't need a button prompt! We'll do almost anything you say at this point.

[@damienedmiston3195]

What we do in the Shadows mentioned! My brain is very happy

[@kamo7293]

Geralt... maybe don't kill the two unlucky guards protecting a child from murder...

[@seand7042]

They didn't die if I recall

[@seraphonica]

shutting up Starscream is "weird"? on the contrary, I find it completely natural.

[@karmicrespite5737]

It's more weird with the fact that he *stays* shut up

[@Tigerhawk01]

The Starscream bit is a reference to the 80's film "Transformers the Movie" when Galvatron shoots Starscream the same way. Letting you live that moment out for yourself.

[@maries1993]

That outro had me giggling especially when Andy yelled “HE LEFT” about Mike. I am easily entertained

[@a.grimes4202]

OK, so since jumping back into it a month ago, I’ve been stalked by Batman: AK via 1.) Someone I’m subbed to live streaming it within a few days of me resuming where I left off and 2.) This video entry on burning Joker, which after starting NG+, I just was reminded was a thing over the weekend.

[@hollieBlu303]

[@soulreapermagnum]

[@reniefuwa]

That Witcher example is so real. I didn't put the baby in the oven, I was not prepared

[@DanielleWhite]

I thought I couldn't be more baffled since the Farmville fad but that horse birthing did it, speaking as someone who has done that IRL with Holsteins (Friesians for those across the pond) as a dairy farm kid

[@MichaelStaiger]

Could I add the imbibe nectar prompt from Shadow of the Erdtree? It’s a weird prompt and it kills you, so doubly weird.

[@SolaScientia]

And you have to do it repeatedly to complete Thiollier's quest and it's the only way to get him to be a summon in the final boss fight, and I think when fighting Leda as well. I lost count of how many times I saw "You Died" in the span of the time it took to do all that. Drink nectar, die, pick up dropped runes, rinse & repeat, with the occasional dialogue to listen to. This being FromSoftware I know I died more times than I needed to at the end, because I wanted to make sure I'd exhausted St. Trina's dialogue.

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

Fall of Cybertron! Massively underrated, glad to see it on this channel!

[@thomasembleton1467]

Lol well I've had the red dead find the foals legs prompt a few times in real life! But yeah it's useful to have a few wet wipes and dry towels nearby.

[@Zenlore6499]

Jane, I already pressed that button! I’ve played enough games made by Team OX to know when to press the like button

[@AngelBeatYunara]

In my mind, a Dark Souls candle would smell like campfires and cinnamon.

[@SolaScientia]

Greg over on How to Drink made a cocktail inspired by the estus flask. I think it did have cinnamon in it, and I know he set it on fire. So the vibes are definitely there for that scent If a Dark Souls candle is campfires and cinnamon, then I think a Bloodborne one would have to be just blood. Or maybe the scent that's in the air when it's about to storm; that'd would pretty well too, I think.

[@Chibimano]

Don’t forget that the Narrator in The Stanley Parable also dares you not to press a button when prompted, only for such inaction to halt progression of that “ending.”

[@FCGroningen1987]

"Ceaseless Discharge" sounds like a euphemism

[@deathryche]

As a Souls KZbinr put it, the name literally means "Unending relief of load". Take that as you will.

[@queenofcookie3299]

To me it sounds like a vaginal medical condition so i somehow never thought of it quite like that😅. Oh were the mind wanders😂
